by Jennette McCurdy
dark
emotional
informative
reflective
sad
tense
fast-paced
CW: child abuse, eating disorder, emotional abuse, alcoholism, death of parent.
i don’t know how to rate a book like this. i don’t think you can love or hate a book about someone’s trama; it’s someone’s life and it’s their story. it’s the first book i’ve finished in three days since before summer started which makes me happy as i’ve been in the mother of all reading slumps. i don’t know how to feel about this book, honestly some of it was uncomfortable to read. the writing style at times bothered me. though i felt like the scenes really helped one understand what she went through as a child, but it just felt weird to read them and it felt like a <i>book </i> book. do you get what i mean? maybe autobiographies are just not my cup of tea.
seeing everything jeanette went through and reading it chronologically made me so happy for her recovery and that she was finally able to put herself first instead of doing the icarly reboot. when i picked this book up I had no idea about her background, no idea about her mom or anything about her story other than her being sam puckett from the tv show I watched when I was a kid. i wish i had known what it was about and there was a content warning beforehand.
overall i’m happy that’s she’s in recovery.
